$200K settlement approved for family of woman who died in Lakeland fire
Polk County commissioners unanimously approved a $200,000 legal settlement Tuesday for relatives of a woman killed in a house fire last year.
Loretta Pickard, 76, was still on the phone with 911 dispatchers when she died in that fire.
“It’s a human life and a horrible death,” said Amber Addison, Pickard’s niece.
